Half-day boat tour to Murano, Burano, and Torcello with glassblowing on Murano, lace in Burano, and Byzantine sights on Torcello.
“You are sincere and can curate the whole tour in a beautiful way! We were overwhelmed by the tour and the behaviour of the staff!”
Half-day Milan tour with fast access to the Duomo, La Scala, and Leonardo’s Last Supper, plus Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II stroll.
“A lot of walking. Very informative. Our guide Andrea was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Great highlights of Milan”
A fast half-day speedboat tour to Murano and Burano, with a live glassblowing demo, lace shops, and colorful canals for about $21.
“Add 1/2 hour to time allowed in Murano. Going into the glass blowing demonstration is great, but not enough time left to truly see any part of Murano.”
Half-day Pompeii tour from Naples or Sorrento with air-conditioned van, skip-the-line tickets, expert guide, and time to explore.
“very informative and the guide was knowledgeable. Prompt meeting at designated location near the station.”
Small-group boat trip from Venice to Murano and Burano, with glassblowing and lace-making demos plus colorful house time for photos.
“I would do the full day tour next time to give more time to explore but I loved time spent on both Murano and Burano”
Half-day Chianti from Florence with two wineries, seven wine tastings, olive oil and balsamic pairings, plus Monteriggioni free time.
“The exact meeting spot was hard to find. We almost missed the tour. All others have an exact spot to meet, with special instructions. If it would have said "Bus/Train station, in the parking lot, look for guide with a green jacket" would have been helpful.”
Half-day Pisa tour from Florence with a guided walk of Piazza dei Miracoli and an optional Leaning Tower climb of 294 steps.
“A really great trip from start to finish. Our guides Martina & Simone were amazing. Excellent knowledge of Pisa and very easy to understand. Really glad we chose to climb the tower, what an experience! Certainly a day to remember!”
Half-day Palermo to Monreale and Cefalù: Norman Duomo mosaics, Cefalù audio guide, Mandralisca pottery, north-coast drive.
“From the beginning until the end, everything was perfect. Everyone has the chance to travel independently from the group, I think the best part is going with the group but being free. Thanks also for the little tips.🙋🏻♀️”
Half-day ferry from Genoa to glamorous Portofino, with coastal photo stops, 70 to 80 minutes ashore, and time for gelato.
“Really great experience, beautiful stop offs and easy to get your tickets”
Half-day Pisa trip from Florence with guided stops at the Square of Miracles and optional Leaning Tower climb, efficient logistics.
“Expect a very long walk !!! Just wondering if they could have brought the bus closer to the site. The venue / site was much too wonderful to have been spoiled by the punishing walk. (We have a member of our party who struggled with the very, very, very long hike.)”
Half-day coach tour from Florence to Pisa with an expert guide, time at Piazza dei Miracoli, and optional Cathedral entry and headsets.
“It was perfect. Available times were fantastic. And Simonetta was amazing!”
Half-day guided trip from Rome to Tivoli, visiting Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este with UNESCO sights, coach ride, and included entry.
“Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The bus was very nice, and the air conditioning was welcome during the hot Roman summer!!”
Half-day Pompeii from Sorrento with hotel pickup, pro guide, entry ticket, and headsets, covering the Forum, baths, and Lupanare.
“Very good tour. Teaches about the history and takes you to all the prominent spots. Timely pickup and drop.”
Half-day Chianti tour from Florence with vineyard walk, vinegar factory visit, 7 wine tastings, olive oil samples, local bites.
“Jordano was our guide and he was GREAT. So was Salvadore our driver (probably spelled wrong), he was fantastic. The wineries and the lady host at each location were spectacular. I loved the white wine at the first location and the truffle olive oil and second full body red wine. Worth the money. Very healthy pours (unlike the 2oz you get in Kelowna Canada).The views are great. The charcuterie boards at each place were delicious. Make sure you read the meeting location. It’s in the train station but the sightseeing experience area. I missed that part in the meeting details.”
Half-day from Naples to Vesuvius with pickup and skip-the-line entry, plus an independent crater hike and Bay of Naples views.
“Picked up from the hotel despite the VERY last-minute change on our end (we rang to confirm booking the morning of, and were made aware that I had mistakenly booked for the wrong day). They managed to squeeze us in that morning. The drive was less than an hour to the Vesuvius drop-off point, including a stop for photos. You get dropped off much closer than the general parking, basically starting at the beginning of the trail. You get two hours to summit, enjoy the breathtaking views of the crater (which was steaming for us), and walk back down. The walk-up takes 25 minutes if you're reasonably healthy, although there…”
